YALE GORDON COLLEGE of ARTS and SCIENCES Christine Spencer, Interim Dean YALE GORDON COLLEGE OF ARTS AND SCIENCES Christine Spencer, interim dean Deborah Kohl, associate dean Nicole Marano, assistant dean for advising, enrollment management and student success www.ubalt.edu/cas INNOVATION, DISCOVERY AND ENRICHMENT The Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences awards bachelor’s, master’s and doctoral degrees, and post-bachelor’s and master’s degree certificates that encourage innovation and discovery and enrich the intellectual lives of the college’s students and faculty members. Through interdisciplinary and discipline- based programs in the arts, humanities, and social and natural sciences, the college offers visionary, integrative learning and teaching environments enhanced with rapidly evolving information and communication technologies. Our graduates learn to be reflective, skilled communicators, adept at addressing contemporary problems within an ethical framework and able to adapt to a changing world. Well-prepared for the world of work, our students become broadly informed and deeply engaged in local, regional and world communities. The college was founded in 1937 as a junior college emphasizing the liberal arts. In 1961, it became a four-year institution offering day and evening classes; 1974 marked the introduction of its first graduate program. In 1975, it became an upper-division college and graduate school. Now that the University offers four-year programs, the college continues its commitment to offering a variety of unparalleled graduate programs and outstanding undergraduate programs. In 1982, the College of Liberal Arts was named for Yale Gordon, a University of Baltimore alumnus and businessman who understood the central importance of the humanities in higher education and in the life of a community. With his wife, Peggy, he established the Peggy and Yale Gordon Trust, which supports organizations, such as the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences, that are dedicated to advancing the humanities. In 2010, the college was renamed the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences to reflect a strengthened, expanded foundation of general education and arts and sciences courses to enhance student success. Although teaching and learning are of primary focus, the college places considerable importance on research and public service for both faculty and students. Theoretical and applied research among faculty members enhances the quality of our academic programs and ensures the competitiveness of our students and graduates in the workplace and beyond. As a public institution, the college recognizes its responsibility to the state and to the Baltimore metropolitan area. The work of the Ampersand Institute for Words & Images, various specific projects undertaken in conjunction with enterprises like CityLit Project, and programs like Legal and Ethical Studies and Integrated Arts, and those contributing to game design and counselor education have an impact on the growth and development of the community that reaches far beyond the campus borders. 130 DIVISIONS AND SCHOOLS The college comprises four academic units: three divisions and a school. All units award bachelor’s and master’s degrees; some offer certificates and doctoral degrees.

Its programs blur the boundaries between creativity and practicality, between the humanities and the real world. It promotes learning as both a key to and a function of life, and offers programs that examine the marriage of art and commerce, words and images, and old 132 and new media. The school encompasses the Ampersand Institute for Words & Images, which conducts research and in other ways promotes and supports the mission of the academic division of the school. The division offers undergraduate programs leading to degrees in digital communication, integrated arts and English. It also offers graduate programs leading to degrees in publications design, integrated design, and creative writing and publishing arts, and to a certificate in digital communication. STUDENTS The approximately 1,850 men and women enrolled in the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences— about two-thirds of them in undergraduate programs—represent about 30 percent of the total University of Baltimore student population. About two-thirds of the college’s undergraduate students are enrolled full time. Many of the remainder are already working in a wide variety of careers, and most of the college’s students—whether undergraduate or graduate, full time or part time—balance job, family and school responsibilities. Some students are seeking advancement in their current careers; others are preparing to change careers. This diversity of age and experience is an important and invigorating part of campus life. Classes take place both during the day and in the evening, and most undergraduate majors can be completed entirely
